Various types of drain blockages and cleaning process

Root Intrusion

Tree roots growing into sewer lines cause major blockages. Our cutting tools remove roots and restore full pipe flow.

Grease & Fat Buildup

Kitchen grease solidifies in pipes, creating stubborn blockages. High-pressure jetting melts and flushes away grease deposits.

Foreign Objects

Children's toys, sanitary products, and debris cause immediate blockages. Mechanical removal and jetting clear the obstruction.

Scale & Mineral Deposits

Hard water creates scale buildup over time. Powerful jetting removes mineral deposits and restores pipe diameter.

When Do You Need Professional Drain Cleaning?

Don't wait for a complete backup - call us at the first warning signs

Slow Drains

Water taking longer than usual to drain from sinks, tubs, or showers. This indicates buildup in the pipes that will only get worse over time.

Standing Water

Water backing up in drains or toilets when using other fixtures. This indicates a blockage in the main sewer line that needs immediate attention.

Foul Odors

Persistent sewage odors from drains suggest trapped debris or a blockage that's preventing proper ventilation of the sewer system.

Gurgling Sounds

Unusual gurgling or bubbling from drains when water runs. This indicates air trapped in the pipes due to blockages or improper venting.

Multiple Clogs

Several fixtures backing up at the same time usually indicates a main sewer line problem that requires professional attention.

Foundation Issues

Wet spots in the yard or foundation problems can indicate sewer line breaks. Video inspection can diagnose the issue quickly.
